birmingham rollers

[likklegriz]

i got 2 young rollers late last year when should they start to roll just seem to fly around like racers. Do they have to be a certain age

Mark  

[Guest grizzler]

some may only start rolling a 6months old,while some will roll while still youngsters

[likklegriz]

ok cheers grizzler they must be about 6 months know because they both turned out hens and one has laid (paired to a fantail). Does it matter if they go out with racers or should they be on there own

Mark

[Guest grizzler]

dont think it really matters that they are flying with the racers,but my rollers fly on there own. are they competition rollers or show rollers you have?? would be able to sort a couple of cocks out for you,later in the year

Hi Mark,

 

Rolling can vary, some roll quick whilst others take a while to develop. Also if this the first time you let them out they have to get use to the flying routine.

Very nice rollers Mark. Are you a member of any roller pigeon clubs?

[storm rollers]

hi mark rollers do vary in the time they start rolling they might take a very long time if ever to start if you are flying them with racers

[likklegriz]

Very nice rollers Mark. Are you a member of any roller pigeon clubs?

you should get a kit of them going, they should start rolling then.

Just keep flying them or breed as many as you can and then let them fly. Keeping rollers involves a lot of patience along with other flying breeds. Good luck Mark and keep us updated.

 

Storm Rollers, what family are your rollers from. Good to see more roller pigeon keepers. I am based in Coventry

hi ap2010 my birds are mosly birds wat birds you got

[lawrie]

its best to have a kit of at least 20 rollers, and they will roll properly at the age of 3. put adults in the kit to encourage the young. dont let them fly for more then 45 minutes  when training.

Heard of Moseley Storm Roller, good roller man. I have few mixed families K Johnston (derby), darren deacon and few others.

 

I want to see which rollers turn out good. Have ordered 40 MRPC rings. Are yoy part of any roller club Storm Roller?

 

Good point Lawrie 20 birds in the kit is what most clubs allow in flying competition teams. Few older birds in the team is good because the young rollers will follow the old birds. Seen it with my rollers.

[storm rollers]

yea im in the local clubs. kevs birds are goog birds seen a real nice kit up there a couple of years ago big breaks. wat birds did you get off darren? were they black pieds and blue pieds?

[ap2010]

The rollers I got from darren deacon are from Blueron on the forum. They are mainly black and whites plus one silverish one.
